I want to ask a serious question because I want to know if I’m just biased or crazy or what. Is Kanye West driving anyone else nuts besides me? He claims to be the best musician of our time… I actually think his production is killer but he just appears to have an unfortunate personality trait that makes him super idiot.
No, I totally agree. He’s so obnoxious now. I loved him when he first came out and started souring on him the last album. He’s just a big ball of ego now. And his new album suuuuuuucks. Auto-tuning must die.
I agree. He’s undoing any modicum of respect I had for him. I’ve always said that he’s an amazing producer and an average-to-poor rapper. He’s now adding tremendous douche to that list.
You know how much I like the Miss Piggy video, but this might beat it, at least for the amazing dubbing work:
Oh my god this Bert and Ernie dub is AMAZING!! I heart your blog Uncle Corey!!!
Kanye’s response to Colbert is awesome:
